Garden Guest: Cedar Waxwing

The north side of our front yard is a certified National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat. Really! We have a certificate! You can do the same by providing food, water, cover and places for wildlife to raise their young. It is so much fun to see all of the critters that stop by for a visit. I have a series of posts to show you our Garden﻿ Guests.

This stunning beauty is a Cedar Waxwing. I love how the tips of their tails look like they were dipped in a tiny bit of yellow paint!

These lovely birds stop by for a week or two as they migrate.

This tree is their favorite. It's a Western Soapberry. They also love the Mahonia bushes which have berries this time of year, too.

As soon as the berries are gone though, so are the Cedar Waxwings.And for a little blogging music, have you heard of Sawyer Fredericks and Noelle Bybee? They are contestants on The Voice this year. I love this duet!

Beautiful photos. I seldom see cedar waxwings near my home, but one year a group go them landed in my cherry tree. I heard them catering and watched as the passed cherries to each other for a few minutes. and then they flew away.

Hi Marci - stopping by from the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop at Katherine's Corner . . . . . I love your blog! It is so inspirational as I contemplate how best to cultivate our little corner of the world. We have great soil for gardening as we live in the farmland of NE Indiana, with a woods behind our house and lake across the way. Thanks for sharing and for linking up to the blog hop. Hope to see you next week! Nina @ Vintage Mama's Cottage

Beautiful birds! We made a bird feeder but no birds have stopped by. My daughter is a little sad. I think we may have gotten a bird seed for birds not in our area. Thanks for linking up at #HomeMattersParty
